Question 1

According to Robert Sternberg,creative intelligence requires _____ thinking.

Accepted Answer

Robert Sternberg's theory of creative intelligence emphasizes the importance of divergent thinking, which involves generating multiple solutions to a problem or question. Convergent thinking, on the other hand, focuses on finding the single best solution to a problem. While adaptive and practical thinking are important in many contexts, they are not specifically emphasized in Sternberg's theory of creative intelligence.

Question 2

Which example relies MOST heavily on crystallized intelligence?

Accepted Answer

Crystallized intelligence refers to acquired knowledge and skills that are accumulated over time. Knowing the chemical symbols for various elements is a clear example of crystallized intelligence, as it relies on learned information and factual knowledge. The other options involve more fluid intelligence, which refers to the ability to think abstractly and solve problems in novel situations.

Question 3

Practical intelligence,one form of Robert Sternberg's intelligences,would be needed to:

Accepted Answer

Practical intelligence involves the ability to understand and deal with practical, everyday problems, including those involving interpersonal relationships. Understanding the needs of family members would require practical intelligence.

Question 4

James is a participant in a research study.He needs to decide how Figure A relates to Figure B.James will need to use _____intelligence in order to solve this problem.

Accepted Answer

Fluid intelligence refers to the ability to solve novel problems, think abstractly, and think critically. James needs to use his fluid intelligence to determine the relationship between Figure A and Figure B because he is faced with a new problem that he has not previously encountered.

Question 5

Robert Sternberg has proposed _____ fundamental forms of intelligence.

Accepted Answer

Robert Sternberg has proposed 3 fundamental forms of intelligence: analytical, creative, and practical intelligence.

Question 6

Question 7

According to Robert Sternberg,"analytic intelligence" involves:

Accepted Answer

Robert Sternberg defines "analytic intelligence" as involving abstract planning, focused attention, and verbal and logical skills.

Question 8

When students take multiple-choice exams,they are using the form of intelligence that Robert Sternberg calls:

Accepted Answer

Multiple-choice exams require the use of analytical intelligence, which is the ability to analyze and solve problems in a logical and systematic manner. This type of intelligence involves skills such as deductive reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving. It is one of the three types of intelligence identified by Robert Sternberg, alongside practical intelligence and creative intelligence. Practical intelligence involves the ability to adapt to the environment and solve real-world problems, while creative intelligence involves the ability to come up with novel ideas and solutions. However, neither of these forms of intelligence are specifically required for succeeding on multiple-choice exams.

Question 9

When Erika is assigned to host a work party for 100 employees with a modest $200 budget,she needs to be innovative and imaginative.In order for Erika to host a successful work party,she will need to utilize _____ intelligence.

Question 10

Intelligence that reflects accumulated learning is referred to as "_____ intelligence."

Accepted Answer

Crystallized intelligence refers to the accumulation of knowledge, skills, and strategies that people have gained through education and experiences. It involves accessing information from long-term memory and applying it to current situations, which typically improves with age. In contrast, fluid intelligence refers to the ability to reason and solve novel problems independent of previously acquired knowledge, and often declines with age. Creative and practical intelligence refer to more specific ability domains within intelligence.

Question 11

According to Robert Sternberg,intelligence used in everyday problem solving is considered to be _____ intelligence.

Accepted Answer

Robert Sternberg proposed a theory of intelligence that includes three components: analytic, creative, and practical intelligence. Practical intelligence is used in everyday problem solving and is characterized by adaptability to new situations, ability to understand and communicate effectively with others, and the ability to solve problems that have multiple solutions.

Question 12

Which of Robert Sternberg's three forms of intelligence is sometimes called "street smarts"?

Accepted Answer

Practical intelligence, also known as "street smarts," relates to the ability to apply knowledge and skills to real-world situations and adapt to changing circumstances. It involves things like problem-solving, decision-making, and common sense.

Question 13

According to Robert Sternberg,a college student who does well on multiple-choice and essay exams likely is high in _____ intelligence.

Accepted Answer

Robert Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence includes analytical intelligence, which is related to academic success and is involved in problem-solving and critical thinking skills that are necessary for success on multiple-choice and essay exams. Therefore, if a college student does well on both types of exams, it is likely that they are high in analytic intelligence.

Question 14

With respect to intelligence testing in adulthood,scores on items measuring fluid intelligence _____ with age,and scores on items measuring crystallized intelligence _____ with age.

Accepted Answer

Fluid intelligence refers to the ability to think abstractly, reason, identify patterns and problem solve, which tends to decline with age. On the other hand, crystallized intelligence refers to acquired knowledge and skills, which tend to increase with age due to lifelong learning and experiences.

Question 15

A study of adults ages 34 to 83 found that people high in fluid intelligence were exposed to _____ stress and were _____ likely to suffer from it.

Accepted Answer

Fluid intelligence helps individuals to think logically and solve new problems independently of previously acquired knowledge, which can aid in managing and adapting to stressors more effectively, thus being exposed to more stress but less likely to suffer from it.

Question 16

Francis is a retired registered nurse who fills in at the local hospital when the staff is in need of nurses.She is frequently called in without advance notice and must take over without any time to get oriented.Frances must rely on what Robert Sternberg calls "_____ intelligence" in order to grasp the expectations and needs of the situation.

Accepted Answer

Practical intelligence involves being able to adapt to new situations and solve problems that arise in daily life, making it the most fitting option for Frances' situation.

Question 17

The benefits of _____ intelligence in adult life are obvious,as adults need to solve real-world challenges.

Accepted Answer

Practical intelligence refers to the ability to solve real-world challenges and is therefore the most appropriate choice for the given statement. Creative intelligence refers to the ability to think outside the box, flexible intelligence refers to the ability to adapt to changing situations, and analytic intelligence refers to the ability to analyze and solve problems logically, but these may not necessarily be as applicable in real-world situations as practical intelligence.

Question 18

Practical intelligence is supported by:

Accepted Answer

Practical intelligence is often developed through experience and the ability to adapt to different situations, rather than being solely based on education or academic achievements. Health and nutrition could potentially contribute to overall cognitive abilities, but they are not the primary factors for practical intelligence.

Question 19

Practical intelligence is sometimes called "_____ intelligence," because it is not obvious on tests.

Accepted Answer

Practical intelligence, also known as tacit intelligence, is not easily measured through tests or assessments. It relies on the ability to apply knowledge and skills in practical, real-world situations, and can be seen in people who are successful in their careers or daily lives despite not having high scores on standardized tests.
